Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 6-ounce pieces Salmon fillets
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Whole-grain mustard
- 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Parsley, chopped
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and place them skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Season each fillet with salt and black pepper.
In a small bowl, combine the Dijon mustard and whole-grain mustard. Spread a thin, even layer of the mustard mixture over the top of each salmon fillet.
In another bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs, olive oil, parsley, minced garlic, and lemon zest. Stir until the breadcrumbs are evenly coated with the olive oil.
Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the mustard-coated salmon fillets, pressing gently to adhere the breadcrumbs to the surface.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. The topping should be golden brown.
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a minute or two. Serve the salmon with lemon wedges for squeezing over the top, and enjoy!
